It is +intended to aid the user in assessing the accuracy of the photometry, +in diagnosing problems with particular catalog objects, +in searching the photometry data for relationships +between the computed quantities, and in editing the catalog based on +those observed relationships. PEXAMINE is intended to complement the +more batch oriented editing facilities of the SELECT task. + +PEXAMINE takes the input catalog \fIinput\fR and the corresponding +image \fIimage\fR (if defined) and produces an output catalog of selected +objects \fIoutput\fR (if defined) and an output catalog of deleted objects +\fIdeletions\fR (if defined). The input catalog may be either an +APPHOT/DAOPHOT text database or an ST binary table database. +The file type of the output catalogs \fIoutput\fR and \fIdeletions\fR +is the same as that of \fIinput\fR. + +READING IN THE DATA + +PEXAMINE reads the column data specified by \fIphotcolumns\fR and +\fIusercolumns\fR for up to \fImax_nstars\fR beginning at star +\fIfirst_star\fR into memory. +The \fIphotcolumns\fR parameter +defines the list of standard photometry columns to be loaded. If +"daophot" or "apphot" is selected then the standard columns +are GROUP, ID, XCENTER, YCENTER, MSKY, MAG, MERR, CHI, SHARP and NITER +and ID, XCENTER, YCENTER, MSKY, MAG and MERR respectively. +Otherwise the user must set \fIphotcolumns\fR to his or her own preferred +list of standard photometry columns. Non-standard columns may also be +specified using the parameter \fIusercolumns\fR. +Valid column lists contain the full names of the specified columns +in upper or lower case letters, separated by commas. +Either \fIphotcolumns\fR or +\fIusercolumns\fR may be redefined interactively by the user after +the task has started up, but only at the +expense of rereading the data from \fIinput\fR. + +PEXAMINE will fail to load a specified column if that column is +not in the photometry database, is of a datatype other than +integer or real, or adding that column would exceed the maximum +number of columns limit currently set at twenty. The user can +interactively examine the list of requested and loaded standard +photometry columns, as well as list all the columns in the input +after the task has started up. + +GRAPHICS AND IMAGE COMMAND MODE + +PEXAMINE accepts commands either from the graphics cursor \fIgcommands\fR +(graphics command mode) or the image display cursor \fIicommands\fR +if available (image command mode). +PEXAMINE starts up in graphics command mode, but all the +interactive commands are accessible from both modes and the user can +switch modes at any time assuming that the \fIuse_display\fR parameter +is set to "yes". + +PEXAMINE interprets the cursor position in graphics command mode +differently from how it interprets it in image command mode. +In graphics command mode the cursor coordinates are the position +of the cursor in the current plot, whereas in image command mode they +are the x and y coordinates of the cursor in the displayed image. +For example, if the user issues a command to PEXAMINE to locate the object +in the catalog nearest the point in the current X-Y plot marked by +the graphics cursor, PEXAMINE does so by searching +the data for the object whose values of \fIxcolumn\fR and \fIycolumn\fR +most closely match those of the current cursor position. +If the user issues a command to PEXAMINE to locate the +object in the catalog corresponding to the object marked on the image +display with the image cursor, +PEXAMINE does so by searching the data for +the object whose values of \fIxposcolumn\fR and \fIyposcoumn\fR +most closely match and fall within \fImatch_radius\fR of the current +cursor position. + +Input to PEXAMINE is through single keystroke commands or colon +commands. Keystroke commands are simple commands that may +optionally use the cursor position but otherwise require no arguments. +The PEXAMINE keystroke commands fall into three categories, basic +commands, data examining commands and data editing commands, all +described in detail in the following sections. Colon commands +take an optional argument and function differently depending on +the presence or absence of that argument. When the argument is absent +colon commands are used to display the +current value of a parameter or list of parameters. When the argument is +present they change their current value to that argument. +The basic colon commands are described in detail below. + +BASIC KEYSTROKE COMMANDS + +These keystroke commands are used to display the help page, switch from +graphics to image command mode and quit the task. + +.ls ? +Page through the help for the PEXAMINE task +.le +.ls : +Execute a PEXAMINE colon command. +.le +.ls g +Change to graphics command mode. Throughout PEXAMINE graphics command mode +is the default. All PEXAMINE commands are available in graphics command +mode. +.le +.ls i +Change to image command mode. +All the PEXAMINE commands are available in image command mode. +However if \fIuse_display\fR is no and the image +cursor has not been aliased to the standard input or a text file +image command mode is disabled. +.le +.ls q +Quit PEXAMINE without writing an output catalog. +PEXAMINE queries the user for confirmation of this option. +.le +.ls e +Quit PEXAMINE and write the output catalog. +.le + +DATA EXAMINING COMMANDS + +The data examining commands fall into two categories, those that examine +the catalog data including 'l' (catalog listing), 'o' (object listing), +'x' (Y column versus X column plot) and 'h' (histogram column plot) +commands, and those which examine the image data around specific catalog +objects including 'r' (radial profile plotting), 's' (surface plotting), +'c' (contour plotting) and 'm' (pixel dumping). The latter group +require that \fIimage\fR be defined. A brief summary of each data +examining command is given below. +.ls l +Print out the name, datatype, and units for all the columns in the input +catalog. The list command can be used to check the contents of the input +catalog and/or determine why a particualar column was not loaded. +.le +.ls o +Print out the names and values of the stored columns of the object +nearest the cursor. In graphics mode the current plot type must be +X-Y. In image command mode the object nearest the cursor must also be +no more than \fImatch-radius\fR pixels away from the image cursor to be +found. If an object is found and the current plot type is X-Y +the graphics cursor is moved to the position of the selected object +in the X-Y plot. +.le +.ls x +Plot the data in \fIycolumn\fR versus the data in \fIxcolumn\fR excluding +any already deleted points and identifying objects marked for deletion +with a cross. X-Y plotting is undefined if \fIxcolumn\fR or \fIycolumn\fR +is undefined. +.le +.ls h +Plot the histogram of the data in \fIhcolumn\fR excluding any already +deleted points and those marked for deletion. Histogram plotting is +disabled if \fIhcolumn\fR is undefined. +.le +.ls r +Plot the radial profile of the object nearest the cursor including +only pixels within a distance of \fIrinner\fR and \fRrouter\R of +the object center. Radial profile plotting is disabled if \fIimage\fR +or \fIxposcolumn\fR or \fIyposcolumn\fR is undefined. +.le +.ls s +Plot the surface plot of the object nearest the cursor including +only pixels within an image section \fIncols\fR by \fInlines\fR +around the object center. Surface plotting is disabled if \fIimage\fR +or \fIxposcolumn\fR or \fIyposcolumn\fR is undefined. +.le +.ls c +Plot the contour plot of the object nearest the cursor including +only pixels within an image section \fIncols\fR by \fInlines\fR +around the object center. Contour plotting is disabled if \fIimage\fR +or \fIxposcolumn\fR or \fIyposcolumn\fR is undefined. +.le +.ls m +Dump the pixel values of a grid of 10 by 10 pixels around the object +nearest the cursor. Pixel value dumping is disabled if \fIimage\fR +or \fIxposcolumn\fR or \fIyposcolumn\fR is undefined. +.le +.ls p +Replot the current graph. +.le + +DATA EDITING COMMANDS + +Data points can be deleted from the catalog in either graphics command +mode or image +command mode. In graphics command mode the +graphics cursor and either the X-Y or histogram plot is used to delete points. +In image command mode the image cursor and the displayed +image are used to delete points. A data point has three possible states +good, marked for deletion and deleted. +Any one of the keystroke commands 'd' (delete point), '(' (delete points +with x less than x cursor), ')' (delete points with x greater than x cursor, +'^' (delete points with y > y cursor), 'v' (delete points with y < y cursor) +or 'b' (delete points in a box) can be used to mark points for deletion. +The 'f' key is used to actually delete the points and replot the data. +In between marking the points for deletion and actually deleting the marked +points the 't' (toggle) key can be used to undelete the last set marked. +The full list of the data editing keystroke commands is given below. + +.ls z +Undelete not just unmark all the data points replot. +.le +.ls f +Delete points marked for deletion and replot. Points marked for deletion +but not actually deleted will be written to the output catalog and not +written to the deletions catalog. +.le +.ls d +Mark the point nearest the cursor for deletion. +.le +.ls u +Undelete the marked point nearest the cursor. +.le +.ls ( +Mark all points with x values less than the x value of the cursor for +deletion. In graphics command mode points can only be marked for deletion if +the current plot type is "xyplot" or "histplot". In image command +mode \fIxposcolumn\fR and \fIyposcolumn\fR must be defined before +points can be marked for deletion. +.le +.ls ) +Mark all points with x values greater than the x value of the cursor for +deletion. In graphics command mode points can only be marked for deletion if +the current plot type is "xyplot" or "histplot". In image command +mode \fIxposcolumn\fR and \fIyposcolumn\fR must be defined before +points can be marked for deletion. +.le +.ls v +Mark all points with y values less than the y value of the cursor for +deletion. In graphics command mode points can only be marked for deletion if +the current plot type is "xyplot". In image command +mode \fIxposcolumn\fR and \fIyposcolumn\fR must be defined before +points can be marked for deletion. +.le +.ls ^ +Mark all points with y values greater than the y value of the cursor for +deletion. In graphics command mode points can only be marked for deletion if +the current plot type is "xyplot". In image command +mode \fIxposcolumn\fR and \fIyposcolumn\fR must be defined before +points can be marked for deletion. +.le +.ls b +Mark all points within a box whose lower left and upper right hand corners +are marked by the cursor for deletion. +In graphics mode points can only be marked for deletion if the current +plot type is "xyplot". In image command mode \fIxposcolumn\fR and +\fIyposcolumn\fR must be defined before points can be marked for +deletion. +.le +.ls t +Toggle between marking points for deletion or undeletion. The default +is to mark points for deletion. +.le + +BASIC COLON COMMANDS + +All the PEXAMINE parameters can be changed interactively with colon +commands, including those which determine which data is read in, +which data is plotted and the parameters of each plot.
